America is not a racist country. True or false

Did I say anything about Trump?

Not directly, but I can read between the lines.

Apparently, you can’t read very well. And if anybody is familiar with me on this forum, I pretty much say what is on my mind, unfiltered, for better or for worse.

On that last point, you’re talking about the Out of Africa theory correct? To deny the world’s African heritage by using the word Caucasian?

I’m actually talking about the Caucuses.

It’s unnecessary.

Wow…LOL…

With unions being diminished, most employees have no idea how to fight workplace discrimination, or labor laws not being followed.

If there we no Highway partols…do you think people would speed more?

@peek-a-boo

That simply isn’t true. Overt racism is an individual choice. It is not tolerated outside circles of like minded individuals.

Overt racism has diminished. Subtle, covert, behind the scenes racism happens all the time.

It seems, if you have not personally witnessed something, it did not happen, or it is not true.

I guess that Bomb that took out Hiroshima did not really happen, as I seriously doubt you were there to see it.

No matter what evidence is presented…if you did not experience it, or have not seen it, it must be false.

Carry on.

“Workplace discrimination”… in the private sector? What does that have to do with government? A government “solution” to yet another government-created problem?

Wow. Just wow. Lol.

[WuWei]

Is the goal to address racism in the private sector? How?

[Oldandtired]

Employee’s have more power on their own than being held back by unions.

What entity enforces labor laws? Whether they be private sector or public sector?

I disagree,

Are you really not aware that labor laws, including discrimination laws, apply to the private sector?

Racism is deeply embedded in this country. Even the “founders” recognized an enslaved population that did not have the rights of white humans. They were slavers. The ramifications of that are still with us and are pervasive. Even the term “Caucasian” was born of racism

All one has to do is know history.

The 19th century opinions by SCOTUS are prime examples of the deeply embedded systematic racism.

So what exact year or moment did the United States go from a racist country to non racist.

Civil rights act was pretty much it as far as government racism.

[biggestal99]

@zantax

Yet there are still law enforcement agencies who are racists to this day.

How do you reconcile that.

Laws are only as good as how they are enforced.

But legally speaking, they aren’t allowed to be. So,if you have evidence, present it to the appropriate authorities.

Legally speaking, you are breaking the law every time you speed. Lol.

The civil rights law is great if you abide by it.

Many law enforcement agencies do not.

If they don’t they are violating the law.
